During the 15th and 16th centuries, Europe was undergoing a Renaissance, where a newfound appreciation for antiquity allowed artists to express the idealized virtues of a transforming society. As the Renaissance period gave way to the Baroque, themes of humanism and naturalism remained strong. Still, a new wave of artists rejected the typical bombast of established masters for subdued depictions of their subjects. This episode examines Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s 17th-century painting Conversion on the Way to Damascus. It fits the shift between Renaissance and Baroque and addresses criticism from later influential art critics and cultural historians.

Episode 112: Michelangelo Caravaggio & Artemisia Gentileschi

Narcissus rejected the love of all, including the love of the nymph Echo and for his cruelty was condemned by the god Nemesis to drown while admiring his own reflection. Employing dramatic naturalism, Caravaggio places the lone figure in a strong, clear light, close to the frame to bring the viewer from the real world to this mythological event. Narcissus’ hand is about to cup the water. The artist probably painted directly on the canvas without preliminary drawings.
